It's a single command to create the ucs file. tmsh save /sys ucs [filename.ucs]

We do it using ssh keys for a specific userid. But we check it into subversion.

ssh $USERID@$myf5 tmsh save /sys ucs [filename.ucs] &>/dev/null

Then copy it using

scp $USERID@$myf5:/var/local/ucs/[filename.ucs] ./[filename.ucs]&>/dev/null

We also pull the ucs apart and compare it to the previous day's backup. If there's no difference, we don't check it into subversion.
